Amoena's Favourite Self Care Tips For A Happier Life.

It’s so so easy to neglect our self-care when we’re busy with work, family, friends, getting ready for back-to-school or just life in general.We hope these quick tips can help make it easy to show yourselves a little more love every day.

Give lots of hugs, especially to yourself because you deserve it: ​

Hugging calms us, decreases our blood pressure, and increases the release of feel-good hormones. A study out of the UK says even hugging ourselves sends a positive message to the brain and is found to “significantly” relieve pain. ​

Amoena breast forms pass the hug test:

Of course, you’ll want to share the hugs, with family, friends … and perhaps your fitter. Hug tight in complete confidence with Amoena’s breast forms that feel and look so natural.

Ask yourself for a dance:

Dance at home to your favourite music, or take a dance class. It’s good for your heart—literally. Dancing increases physical health and overall happiness. And it’s also shown to keep our brains younger, and improve memory.

What to wear to the dance studio?

You can’t go wrong with the long lasting Amoena sports top, with integrated shelf bra. It gives you security and support to move in confidence (and can hold a partial or breast form). We love the flattering fit that’s not too tight, and wonderful performance fabric. ​

Wear bras that feel good:

Being kind to yourself means refusing to wear a mastectomy bra that doesn’t fit properly and that can hurt your back, your neck, chaff your skin, and make you irritable.​

Breathe better in a bra that comforts:

The Amy Seamless mastectomy bra is a perfect example. Ultra soft, it feels like a smooth second skin. All the pocketed bras in the Amoena comfort collection have special features so you’ll feel care-free, confident, at ease.
